Cooler Weather

A concern for heating safety in a rental home is the use of the fireplace and the emission of carbon monoxide due to poor ventilation. Burning materials in a fireplace such as wood, charcoal, and kerosene emit an odorless but very poisonous gas called carbon monoxide. The effects of carbon monoxide exposure vary from feeling sick and with enough exposure can result in death.

For most homes, the fireplace is the most likely source to introduce carbon monoxide into the home. To ensure the fireplace is safe and properly ventilated have the fireplace cleaned and checked annually. All property managers. should have installed in each rental home a carbon monoxide detector. This is much like a smoke detector price and installation is also much the same.
